At school, I said goodbye to Dạ Uyên.
For some reason... I still had this indescribable feeling in my heart.
Her words from last night kept repeating in my head...
"I like you... I like you very much."
I sighed.
No... this needs to be clarified.
Thinking this, I went straight into the classroom, heading towards Vũ Hy's desk.
She was looking down at her phone.
I stood in front of her desk, blocking her view.
She frowned, mistaking me for Lâm Trạch Vân, and irritably said,
"Hey, A Trạch, you're blocking the way..."
She looked up.
She saw me.
She froze.
Just for a moment.
But I clearly saw her gaze briefly sweep across my lips.
Very quickly.
Then she immediately turned away.
I frowned.
...That look again.
It couldn't be a coincidence.
I lowered my voice:
"Let's talk outside."
Vũ Hy said nothing.
Hesitating for just a second, he picked up his half-finished cup of milk tea and stood up to follow me.
We stood in the hallway.
I didn't beat around the bush:
"You know something, don't you?"
Vu Hy leaned against the wall, arms crossed.
The cup of milk tea in his hand gently shook.
"Know what?"
I stepped closer.
"Stop pretending. Your eyes say it all."
He was silent.
Neither denying nor admitting.
I narrowed my eyes.
He looked at me for a moment, then suddenly chuckled softly, his expression completely unrelated, saying:
"Pretending what?"
"Are you imagining things?"
I frowned.
"Damn it, are you kidding me?"
He didn't answer.
He just lowered his voice, suddenly becoming serious:
"I'll give you some advice."
"There are some things... you shouldn't ask."
I froze.
Before I could react,
He suddenly glanced behind me.
Very quickly.
But his gaze instantly changed.
Cold.
I was a little bewildered.
...What was he looking at?
Wu Xi turned to look at me.
This time,
His gaze was completely different.
Unfamiliar.
So cold it was unsettling, then he suddenly whispered, just loud enough for me to hear,
"Sorry in advance."
I didn't understand.
A strong push came.
I lost my balance and fell to the ground.
I was in so much pain and surprise that I wanted to swear: "Damn?!"
The very next second,
Swish!
The milk tea spilled all over my head.
Ice-cold.
Sweet and cloying.
It flowed down my face.
I froze.
I couldn't react in time.
In front of me...
Wu Xi stood there.
His lips curled into a smirk.
His voice was icy cold:
"A useless person will always be a useless person."
"Thinking you're so great?"
"I'll surpass you eventually." I sat there, water dripping onto my shirt.
My mind was blank.
But
In that moment,
I realized.
Vu Hy...
Wasn't looking at me.
But at
something behind me.
Then he stood there, lecturing me relentlessly, insulting my entire family, and then suddenly stopped.
His voice instantly changed.
He hurriedly pulled me up.
"Are you okay?!"
After being pulled up, I stood still.
Looking at him.
"...What the hell did you just do?"
He scratched his head, his voice lowering:
"I... had no other choice."
I said nothing.
Just stared.
He suddenly smirked.
That familiar smile.
Deserving of a punch.
"Sorry~"
"I'll make it up to you later."
I was about to stop cursing when
*Click.*
A very soft sound rang out.
I froze.
I turned around.
I saw Wu Xi hastily hiding his phone behind his back.
His eyes avoided mine.
Wu Xi saw me looking over, scratched his head and said, "Ah, I just remembered I have something to do, I'll excuse myself now."
Then he started to leave.
I immediately understood.
"...Are you coming back yet?"
He didn't answer and wanted to escape.
I couldn't help but hit him hard on the head, speaking in a slightly harsh tone:
"Do you like getting beaten up?"
"Ouch!"
He clutched his head, yelping like a pig being slaughtered.
Just then,
A deep, husky voice rang out:
"What are you two doing?"
I turned around.
Lin Ze Yun was standing there.
I don't know when he arrived.
His eyes swept over me, wet with tears.
Then they stopped at Wu Xi.
Just for a second.
But enough to realize
He had seen everything.
Wu Xi realized it too.
Initially, it paused.
But very quickly,
It instantly changed its expression.
It ran over and hugged Lin Ze Yun.
It whimpered:
"Ah Ze..."
"I'm in pain..."
It pulled up its sleeve and pointed at me.
"He bullied me... I was just defending myself."
Then it looked up at Lin Ze Yun with its big, round eyes and said, "Do you believe me?"
I stood there.
Speechless.
...This girl is really acting.
Lin Ze Yun was clearly also taken aback.
Perhaps this was the first time Yu Xi had been so proactive.
His ears turned slightly red.
But he quickly regained his composure.
His gaze shifted towards me.
With a hint of scrutiny.
Then he spoke, his voice low:
"Um, I believe you."
Hearing this, Vu Hy smirked at me with a vile, mocking smile.
I glared at him, wishing I could punch him a few times, gritting my teeth as I said, "Vu Hy... I never thought you could say such shameless things."
